Mrs O'Sullivan, 33, said: "It was really scary. I felt threatened. I was tearful. The worst-case scenario was that we weren’t going to get off that plane alive because we didn’t know who the person was, what the circumstances were or anything.

"There was nothing explained to us. It was very daunting.

"When we got on board, the seats were moving so he was obviously kicking or thrashing out. I thought someone was having a fit."

A couple, who complained to the airline, were told they were not eligible for a refund.

But easyJet did apologise for the incident and any distress - the company said it was reviewing the circumstances with the Home Office.

A spokesman told the Mail on Sunday: "We would not have carried the passenger had he displayed threatening behaviour prior to the flight, the captain would have diverted if any threat was made to the safety of the flight or passengers on board, and he was in the care of two officers escorting him on behalf of the Home Office for the duration of the flight.

"We are reviewing this case with the Home Office to see if lessons can be learned.

"EasyJet only received three complaints from customers on board this flight."

It was reported that one Home Office official crouched in front of the man to calm him down.

The man, thought to be of African descent, was said to be a failed asylum seeker who had spent a year in a UK detention centre.

It is the first time a person being deported has been reported to have been disruptive on a flight.
